Profibus L2 Drag Chain (Track)

Applications

This system cable is used to interconnect L2-BUS components. This cable is an economical solution for the cell and field area. For the information exchange between different automation systems as well as for communication with the connected decentralized field units, serial field bus systems are used. The above mentioned types are suitable for drag chains (stranded).
